Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Cui Zhu Xuan

Liu Yanyan flipped through the book given by Master Liu. It was filled with delicate calligraphy, every stroke of which was filled with her ambitions. She muttered to herself, "It seems that Master has high expectations for me! But can I do it? Can I reverse this situation of male superiority and female inferiority?"

Liu Yanyan looked at the book in her hand for a long time and sighed, "I have to give it a try. I participated in the Spring Examination myself, isn't it just to save more poor people?"

Liu Yanyan put down the book in her hand and said, "We still have to take one step at a time." Then she put the book away. The teacher's idea was ideal, but the problem was that it would take a long time.

Ten days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the palace examination.

Before I woke up, I was awakened by my father's voice, "Dad, why is it so early?"

Duke Liu said, "Hurry up, or you will be late."

Liu Yanyan looked at the darkness outside and said helplessly, "Okay, Daddy, I'll get up right away. Daddy will wait for me outside."

Yuzhu and Yuzhen came over with an indigo robe and quickly put it on Liu Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan was wearing black thick-soled boots and a white jade hair crown on her head, and her every move exuded an elegant temperament.

Duke Liu looked at Nannan who came out, his eyes lit up, "Let's go, Nannan, we are almost too late."

Liu Yanyan nodded and got on the carriage. Touching her rumbling stomach, Liu Yanyan opened the secret compartment next to the carriage and wanted to take some cakes to eat, but her father stopped her. "Don't eat. We'll be in the palace in a few hours. What if you want to go to the bathroom?"

Liu Yanyan looked distressed, and looked at her father in disbelief and said, "Daddy, you can't be hungry every time!"

Duke Liu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Dad is an idle position, no one is watching me. You must be careful in the palace examination today. Don't drink the water or eat the food. Dad will wait for you at the palace gate after the court session."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "Okay, Daddy, Nannan will try her best." After that, she ignored her rumbling stomach and tightened her belt.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Duke Liu separated from his daughter and stuffed a purse into the young eunuch's pocket before leaving.

The young eunuch happily took it and said, "My Lord, you are too polite. I will definitely take good care of the county lady."

After that, he took Liu Yanyan to Fenghe Hall, and all the way he kept reminding her, "County Lady, you have to be careful. You are the first woman to enter the first class since the founding of the country. I just heard several students say that they want to do something bad."

Liu Yanyan lowered her head and followed, bowing and saying, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice."

The two of them walked for an incense stick of time before arriving at the entrance of Fenghe Hall. Liu Yanyan looked at the people next to her who were whispering and staring at her. A hint of impatience flashed across her eyes, but she didn't show it on her face. She bowed.

The people on the opposite side finally reacted and bowed, but the disdain in their eyes was evident.

Liu Yanyan looked at the few people, turned around calmly and ignored them.

After waiting for a long time outside the Fenghe Hall, a red light appeared in the sky and the hall door opened.

A group of guards were standing guard with knives in hand. An examiner was holding a list with a serious face. He called out the names of the candidates one by one according to their rankings. The candidates walked into the examination room and sat in the third seat in a row.

Liu Yanyan just realized that her hands were shaking and she couldn't stop feeling panicky. At this time, the test papers had already been distributed.

Liu Yanyan clapped her hands to calm herself down, then picked up the pen and wrote down her name and hometown.

The test question above is how to stabilize and develop the border between Da Zhou and the Western Regions.

She had discussed this with her father, and after organizing her thoughts in her mind, she began to write. She didn't even notice that Emperor Hongda came to inspect outside Fenghe Hall.

Emperor Hongda looked at Liu Yanyan's focused face, chuckled, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. Looking at the students scratching their heads next to him, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. They really had no rules at all.

After the one-hour exam, Liu Yanyan's hands were shaking. She blew the ink dry and handed it to the examiner. A group of people were taken to the side hall by the eunuch to wait.

Liu Yanyan was extremely hungry. When she saw the food in the hall, she swallowed her saliva, remembered her father's instructions, retracted her gaze, and found a corner in the hall to stand.

Seeing several students with pale faces, staggering, and slumped on the ground, and their originally neat clothes becoming wrinkled, Liu Yanyan frowned and did not step forward.

The next moment, several eunuchs came in and helped him up. "Sir, the examination papers will take half an hour to correct. You can go to the toilet first."

Everyone nodded and walked out. Liu Yanyan stood in the corner and did not follow. After all, there was no special toilet for women here.

Bonghwajeon

Emperor Hongda sat upright on the dragon throne, picked up the three answer sheets in front of him, and could not help but nod. He saw one of them had beautiful handwriting and unique viewpoints. He stroked his beard and nodded, "The daughter of Duke Liu is a capable person."

Eunuch Li Chuanyu smiled and said, "Duke Liu loves his daughter dearly, and I don't know where he is feeling distressed right now!"

Emperor Hongda smiled and said, "Since you have come to participate in the Spring Examination, you are no longer a child." He signaled Li Chuanyu to summon the people.

Li Chuanyu nodded and shouted at the top of his voice

"First-class students, go to Fenghe Hall to meet the emperor."

"First-class students, go to Fenghe Hall to meet the emperor."

"First-class students, go to Fenghe Hall to meet the emperor."

Liu Yanyan immediately became alert, adjusted her state, and followed the two people in front of her, not daring to take a wrong step.

"Your Majesty, long live long live long live."

Emperor Hongda sat upright on the dragon throne and said, "No need to be polite, just stand up."

Only then did Liu Yanyan dare to stand up respectfully, keeping her head down and not daring to look up or look around.

Emperor Hongda looked at the nervous Liu Yanyan without any embarrassment. He took their answer sheets and said, "First place in the first class, from Jiangzhou, Wang Han, you come and explain your point of view."

Wang Han was shaking with nervousness, his whole legs were trembling, and he finally finished speaking after stumbling over his words.

Emperor Hongda frowned and waved his hand. "The second place in the first class is from Lizhou, Liu He. Please explain your point of view."

Liu He was very mature. He stepped forward respectfully and expressed his views with confidence.

Emperor Hongda nodded and said, "The third place in the first class is from Beijing. Liu Yanyan, you go and tell the story."

After Liu Yanyan respectfully stepped forward and saluted, she analyzed her viewpoints one by one. The satisfaction on Emperor Hongda's face became even stronger.

Emperor Hongda rubbed his sore forehead and said lightly, "Liu Yanyan was selected as the top scholar, Liu He as the second, and Wang Han as the third."

Several people knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Liu Yanyan kept her head down, not daring to look up, until the person next to her moved and stood up. She then raised her head slightly, and when she saw His Majesty leaving, she stood up.

When Liu Yanyan saw the unfriendly looks from Liu He and Wang Han, her eyes became complicated and her face remained indifferent. She nodded and followed the eunuch away.
